  1. Privileged user audit controls

    We would like to request a feature enhancement please to provide a new email alert to be triggered to a specified group of users when a global enterprise search is performed by a privileged Box admin user from the Box admin console.

    We had an insider attack last year which included theft, abuse of privileges, credit card fraud and more. One of the methods he used was to perform enterprise level searches (credit cards, passports, drivers licences) across the whole Box environment.

    Whilst we can manually look for these events via a report, this is far to slow to catch…

  2. Search document properties in Automated Classification

    When exporting design files into PDFs, document properties are often saved alongside the files to designate the sensitivity - for instance, a document may be labeled "confidential".

    If we could search for custom terms in these document properties, we could catch some of the classifications already going on.

  3. Add additional details in the the virus detection notification email

    During this time (2022/02/28, Monday, 13:00), I received a virus detection notification email.
    When I checked the contents, the upload date by virus detection notification email is 2020/06/16 9:36:17 JST,
    Neither the target file was found in the path of the email presentation.

    I contacted MKI Box Support Desk.
    We received the following answers.

    "The virus scan seems to be rescanned accordingly based on the activity of the file, not only at the time of upload.
    The frequency of scans is determined by the number of file activity.
    It can be difficult to explain the consistency of when this notification…

  4. Box Shield threat detection email alerts to include complete details

    Include complete incident information with the thread detection email alerts. This will make it easy to share the information with others who do not have access to Box Shield admin portal, and will also eliminate an extra step of logging into admin portal for those receiving and triaging the alerts.
    Use case: infosec team receives a Box Shield malicious content alert, identifies it as needing action, and passes it to the endpoint management team for mitigation.

  5. Notify user on corrupt file upload

    We should be able to notify a user when the file he just uploaded is detected by shield as corrupted.
    The notification could be sent by mail or by notification on the website, depending on the configuration given by the user.

    This feature is relly important on a legal base, because each user should have the ability to correct his own mistake.

  6. Allow Box Relay functionality when access policies are applied in Box shield

    There is an issue where Box Relay functionality is restricted when applying access policies in Box shield.
    This is not the behavior that Box users expect and is very inconvenient, so please improve it.

    [Cases in which restrictions occur]
    ・Access Policy > Security Controls > Downloading and Printing Restrictions > Insert settings for internal use.
      ※[For Box web apps]・[For Mobile]・[For Box desktops] Enter one of these settings.
    ・Errors occur when Box Relay is run from an environment that differs from the access policy behavior.。

    Example)
     ・Set only mobile access policy for internal use.
     ・Triggering the Box Relay:upload、Result:Set up a…

  7. Make classification labels visible without selection

    Currently you must select a folder to see if it's classified. A customer of mine would prefer to see that a folder is classified without having to select it.

  8. Import shield classification pattern values from a xls or doc

    Ability to import custom terms from a xls - the ability to import any shield value (ex email domains) from a xls or doc is important because that is how they manage such lists with other applications

  9. Box Sheild - Improved alert policies

    We are based out of the US but have a few users based out of other countries. As of now, every time they access Box we get an alert for a suspicious login location. We can exclude the entire country, which we do not wish to do or we can exclude a specific IP. It would be great if we could create a IF THEN statement. Example: IF user = *@specificdomain.com AND location=specific country THEN SuspiciousLocationAlert=False.

    To summarize, additional configuration of alerts would be very beneficial.

  12. Box Shield Smart Access - Require approval when doing a Business Justification override of a Classification

    I want to allow team members to override a Box Shield Classification/Access Policy with a Business Justification ONLY IF the appropriate person approves the override.

    "Appropriate person" would be 100% configurable and different across different Classification Labels. Options like:
    - Person who created the Classification Label
    - Main Admin or Co-Admin with appropriate permissions
    - An assigned authorized person or group (e.g. legal, compliance, infosec, IT, folder or file owner).

    E.g. scenario #1: "Highly Classified" label - only Admin, Co-Admin with Shield permission, xxx person in InfoSec, or yyy person in IT could approve the override.

    E.g. scenario #2: "Internal…

  13. Alert if classification label is changed

    Send a notification when a classification is changed. When a classification is changed for a piece of sensitive content, there is currently not an alert or notification generated. Reporting capabilities on any changed classification labels are also important.

  15. Limit applying a classification label to a specific user group

    I want to be able to limit the permission on a particular classification label. I have a class label that I want only a specific user group to be able to apply. There is an approval process in place (via Box Relay) for labeling content with the specific class label, and I don't want my users to be able to use that label without going through the approval process or limit it so only the admin group can apply the class label. Thanks!

    Automatically re-route content flagged by Box Shield Malware scan to a specific folder owned by IT/InfoSec/Admin. After the IT/InfoSec/Admin team approved the folder/file as safe, then release it back to its original location.

  18. Smart Access: Allow move/copy even with download restriction

    Download restriction restricts external users (editor permission) from moving content within folders they have access to. There should be an option to restrict download but also allow for moving and copying within folders that have the classification policy because to an end user, this is not a download function.

  19. Shield access policy customization - inclusion/exclusion list for downloading files

    Interested in an inclusion/exclusion list FOR downloading files, as part of a Shield access policy.

    Ex: If Owners/Co-Owners/Editors are OK to download they want control the file types they can download. I know you can control this by just creating a separate classification and policy but that could cause too many of them. Better to create an filetype inclusion list
